Under the billowing sleeves of Zangxin’s robe, muscles as hard as cold iron trembled slightly, and a fierce black demonic qi surged up and began to burn fiercely.
Countless venomous snakes that had entangled him combusted violently, turning into pitch-black charcoal in an instant and crumbling to ash as they hit the ground.
Zangxin twisted his wrists, which had been reddened by the pressure, and didn’t glance at the Yuenu who had turned into a dot in the distance.
He smiled slightly at Baili An and said, "It’s been months since we t, and Si Chen’s elegance remains unchanged. If the Demon Lord sees this, she’ll surely be overjoyed."
Baili An replied calmly, "I think the Demon Lord would be equally pleased to see Zangxin in his current state, resembling a dog that has lost its master."
Zangxin’s gaze was cold, but his tone remained with a smile: "Did you know? When Si Chen ascended Bai Tuo Mountain, Yun Rong specifically borrowed the Heavenly Mountain Star Plate to divine for you. The on was overwhelmingly accurate, and Xijian Sect is truly the place of your destined doom."
Baili An raised his palm, glancing lightly at the black qi spreading from his palm: "Are you referring to this?"
Zangxin chuckled, "In these past hundreds of years, only two of the little devils I’ve raised have turned out outstandingly."
He looked down and kicked the wrinkled fierce little demon at his feet, chuckling softly, "This one is called Jian Ni, a little mongrel I picked up out of montary interest four hundred years ago. I’ve perford countless secret experints on it, and finally cultivated the first Kui Snake, capable of soul-eating and spirit-devouring, in its belly.
Two hundred years later, I implanted this snake into Yuenu. Of course, I didn’t intend for Yuenu to die.
Before planting the Kui Snake, I had extracted the poison core from that first Kui Snake’s body. Although only a tenth of the snake’s venom remained, it was enough to leave her tornted by the poison for these two hundred years."
"Later, Yuenu bore a pair of twins. The brother is the one you just absorbed into your umbrella, and he’s nad ’Bu Ku’...
Here, Zangxin’s tone subtly paused.
He laughed again, "Actually, calling him brother isn’t entirely accurate. When I raise little demons, I have a habit; that is, extracting them from the mother’s womb before the fetal body fully develops."
As he spoke, Zangxin’s hands continued gesturing, and his tone was calm, as if recalling an ordinary event:
"At such tis, the fetus hasn’t differentiated into male or female, so even when Yuenu saw her own child being born, she actually didn’t know whether she had given birth to a boy or a girl."
Baili An’s pupils, now replaced with colorless grey-white, were cold and chilling amid the snowstorm.
Zangxin seed oblivious to his gaze, continuing, "Only such overly tender and incomplete life forms, when subjected to extre suffering, can beco the pri experintal bodies for secret techniques full of resentnt.
It’s a pity that the smaller one didn’t even have a chance to be nad before being bitten to death on the test bench by Bu Ku. Otherwise, I could have had two Kui Snakes by now."
Zangxin sounded regretful: "The Kui Snake inside Bu Ku was originally ant for Sword Master Yu, but since you arrived, I had no choice but to use it on you instead."
Baili An said expressionlessly, "I feel extrely honored, discovering that in your mind, my threat surpasses that of the Sword Master."
Zangxin sighed, "I don’t deny that you are a potentially terrifying threat. Until last night, I had not considered confronting you directly. After all, in terms of cultivation realm, you are still not my equal.
Perhaps in a few decades, or possibly just a few years, if we t again, I would be the one who had to flee.
But Si Chen should know what kind of person I, Zangxin, am—I won’t give you those years to grow. There’s a long future ahead, and it would be easy to ensure your end along the way.
The greatest threat to now is still that hero, Sword Master Yu, who ended the centuries of war between the righteous and demonic paths."
Baili An was silent for a long while, then spoke again, revealing a terrifying truth: "It seems Qiliancheng is also under your influence."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Zangxin couldn’t restrain a sound of admiration, clapping his hands in praise: "This is why I must eliminate you; without saying a word, you’ve already understood the situation so clearly."
Baili An raised his eyebrows, the blurry outline of Zangxin reflected in his grey, dim gaze: "It seems you have known for two hundred years already."
Zangxin put a hand to his forehead, laughing lowly: "Clever little one, don’t try to get information from . I know you have no recollection of the past. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the courage to tread on this Bai Tuo Mountain guarded by the Sword Master."
Before Baili An could speak, Zangxin raised his finger and pointed at his heart from afar, saying, "I also know there’s a fatal sword wound here, and that peculiar silver sword of Qi Ren’s is still in your possession, right?
Hmm... Co to think of it, it’s truly strange. Two hundred years ago, you clearly died on Nanze Mountain, so how have you returned to this world looking different?"
These seemingly jesting words stirred great waves in Baili An’s heart.
Everything Zangxin said matched the facts he’d experienced.
And from the sounds of it, his death...
"It wasn’t who killed you, oh no."
Zangxin seed to see through Baili An’s thoughts, laughing as he said, "I only nudged the situation along a little. The ones who truly caused your death were those people from Taixuan Sect.
If you really wish to take revenge, you should find Su Guanhai’s wife, Li Bansheng, and their daughter Su Jing. They were the ones who dealt the final blow to you."
